Packages in Python

In Python, a package is used to create a more organized and structured way of programming. It is a collection of modules organized in a folder. A package contains multiple modules that we can import together, making it easy to use in large projects. A package is a folder containing multiple `.py` files (modules) and a special file named `__init__.py`. This file indicates that the folder is a package and is used to initialize the package's functionalities.

Packages are used to make programs modular and manageable. When working on large software or projects, we need to divide the program into smaller parts. Packages help in making this division easy and organized.

Once you have created a package, you can use it in other programs by importing it.

You can import the entire package, specific modules from the package, or give an alias to a package or module.

Advantages: Modularity, code reusability, code organization, managing large projects, and avoiding name conflicts.

Disadvantages: Increased complexity, version control issues, import overhead, and dependency issues.
